Ralph Avery (19071976) was an American landscape painter and watercolorist based in Rochester, New York. He recorded city streets, churches, trees, iron fences, and the ambiance of Rochester, New York. He also painted in Mexico, the West Indies, Europe, and Northern Africa. When Avery first came to this region, he entered a Finger Lakes competition and was voted "most popular" and became the first recipient of the Rumrill-Hoyt Award. Ralph Avery's paintings were mainly of Rochester and the Corn Hill area. There is a section of Corn Hill dedicated in his memory called the Ralph Avery Mall. This mall is a tribute to Avery's illustrations and paintings done in the Rochester area. Ralph Avery found beauty in Rochester's dreary weather that most people complain about. To him, there was something beautiful about Rochester rain and snow. A close friend, Mrs. Vera Fogg, described Avery when she said, "He saw beauty in the city all the time." He appeared in The Saturday Evening Post. Avery's artwork appeared on the cover of Reader's Digest fourteen times 1954 - Pratt Purchase Prize 1954 - One-man exhibits at Smithsonian and National Collection of Fine Arts 1957 - Grumbacher Purchase Prize 1957 - Rudolf Lesch Fine Arts Purchase Prize 1960 - Named Fellow of Rochester Museum and Science Center 1967 - Outstanding Alumnus at Rochester Institute of Technology Lilian Fairchild Award of University of Rochester 1976 Arnot Art Gallery, Elmira, New York 1980 Memorial Art Gallery, Rochester, New York Please ask specific questions on details, condition, and shipping prior to bidding, ALL ITEMS ARE SOLD AS IS, and the bidder will be responsible for payment.
